==Early life==
Born on October 16, 1937 in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada, Harvey Edgar Bates (known as Smiley) was the youngest of eleven children; he had seven brothers and three sisters. Country music was a prominent feature in the Bates' family life; Bates senior played the fiddle and performed at square dances, where his backing band often included his wife who played piano.〔"The Smiley Bates Story" by Adrian Bevis. Published circa 1978 by Heritage Music Sales〕〔 All of his siblings played musical instruments.〔
As a child, Smiley practiced playing his father's fiddle. Attracted to the guitar after hearing Hank Snow recordings,〔 he began playing on an Eaton's mail-order guitar at age six.〔 Later he also learned to play the banjo, mandolin, and dobro. In 1948, at eleven years of age, Smiley joined Curly Carter and the Mountaineers, playing the fiddle. In 1951, he formed his own band, the North Star Ramblers.〔
